I have a feeling that in your paradigm "a stand" means that to attend your church no one can have or watch a tv (once they have been going a little while).

In many other peoples paradigm "a stand" is preaching against the content on TV and / or requiring platform people, choir members, SS teachers, etc to not have them but not making having one a matter of fellowshiop in general.

If everyone(with the exception a very few) has a television then how can a preacher pretend he is opposed to television. In our area the trustees-deacons-muscians-singers-SS personel-janitors have them. Everyone but the pastor. It is a joke! I mentioned once about a certain church being filled with television and got a post about this person's elderly mother not having one.
A church of a thousand and maybe a dozen senior saints that don't have one?
That is NOT a stand.

Those limp-wristed maggots!

They probably don't take a stand against birth control, either!

Question:

Why was there so little response to the TV survey?

Anyone have an answer or opinion at least?

Did a preacher have to have certain qualifications to send in the survey? Also, was one required to sign their name to the survey? If so, some may not have taken the survey in fear of repercussions.

It would appear to me the momentum has shifted since the last vote on this issue ... in favor of advertising.

I would like to see the mods and libs reach out to those who voted yes for the Org producing and airing commercials in order to work out a compromise. Some had to cross over for a majority to agree on this question.

Perhaps the resolution can be amended to first allow the org to produce commercials ... then a report can be published on the effectiveness of these ads ... IF ANY. Then the issue of individuals ministering can be addressed at a later point in time.

Tv or not to TV... that's the question.

No one used the Radio Commercials available from the GYD. What makes us think they would USE TV ads?

You are muddying the results with this line.

Over 50% voted no.

It will not pass.

I would think you'd only have to be licensed to qualify for that kind of survey.

I think it was probably laziness and laissez-faire on the part of many. If you really cared - if it was really important to you - you'd get the card in the mail.

Or maybe they couldn't afford the stamp if it didn't include a self-stamped envelope. LOL.

The point that was made by OPCarl that what really matters is the actual vote is valid, but if that's so then why bother with the survey at all.

And all that money wasted.
